Biker ambushed by a tiger near Gua Musang, lives to tell his tale


GUA MUSANG: A young man survived with only scratches after he crashed his motorcycle into an adversary as rare as this wild tale is bizarre in an ambush by an endangered tiger along Jalan Gua Musang-Jeli here on Monday (Nov 13) night.

Deadly encounters of humans with a man-eater after a spate of recent attacks here took on a new twist on Monday as orchard planter Muhammad Zulhilmi Mokhtar, 26, recalled the hair-raising ambush at about 9.30pm on a dark forested road when the tiger suddenly lunged from out of the bushes on the right side of the road and crashed into the front tyre of his motorcycle.
